it happened years ago, but it's sparking a big debate among parents today, monday, september 17th, 2012. captions paid for by nbc-universal television this is "today" with matt lauer and f-guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. welcome to "today" on a monday morning. i'm matt lawer. >> good morning, everyone. i'm savannah guthrie. that wave of anti-american violence keeps spreading this morning with protests now in at least 20 countries. >> the latest demonstrations overnight in afghanistan, pakistan and indonesia, these were all sparked by an internet movie that ridicules the islamic faith. this morning we're going to get some unique perspective on what's going on from salman rushdie who faced a similar backlash to his fictional book "the satanic verses" some 23 years ago. also, new details on a case that gripped the nation in the

'70s. you'll probably remember it. a former green beret and doctor convicted of killing his pregnant wife and their two daughters. jeffrey macdonald's story was made famous by the best selling book and tv movie "fatal vision." for 42 years he has maintained his innocence and is now hoping new dna evidence can clear his name. we'll have more on that story. on a much, much lighter note. it was a big weekend for korean pop sensation psy following his live performance on the plaza on friday. i leave for one day and look what happens out there. >> i was going to say. matt, you weren't here because you were worried your invisible horse dance wasn't up to snuff >> i was worried that i would have to do that and i watched some video of you guys doing that. meanwhile, he had a very big appearance. >> made a surprise appearance on "snl" and his single has climbed to number one on the itunes chart. this morning, as prompted, he will have a special message for his fans. >> get to that a little later on, take a breath and start with

the very serious story of ongoing anti-american violence in the east. richard angel is in kabul. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. these protests are continuing in pakistan, indonesia, here in kabul, but they do appear to be getting smaller. for u.s. troops in afghanistan there is a much bigger problem, insider attacks, and there were two more of them this weekend. almost like a storm, this cloud of anti-american rage is now moving to the fringes of the region. a few hundred afghans today expressed anger over the internet movie that lampooned the muslim prophet muhammad. some armed, they burned cars and clashed with police near a u.s. logistics base on the outskirts of kabul, but this isn't what has u.s. officials really worried here. four american soldiers were killed sunday by the afghan police they were working with at a tiny outbust near the pakistani border.

five policemen from the outpost escaped. afghan police on saturday killed two british soldiers who were in the midst of treating a wounded man. more than 50 nato troops have been killed in these so-called insider attacks this year. u.s. policy is to train afghan forces so americans can leave here in 2014, but it's hard to train when the trainees are killing you. it's hard to draw down, too, leaving fewer americans to protect each other. >> this is a new phenomena. it's related to taliban activity, and it reflects a widespread belief among the afghans that the u.s. is coming out, and it's time to demonstrate your loyalty to the incoming power. >> reporter: the afghan government says it's now re-screening its security forces. >> i think we're going to continue to see this kind of violence, perhaps even escalating violence, up to and including the day we're all gone

from there. >> reporter: on friday the taliban launched a bold raid on a tato base in southern afghanistan, the same one where britain's prince harry is posted. the militants got deep inside, killed two u.s. marines and destroyed six marine harrier jets. the militants wore american uniforms. it's increasingly hard to know here who the enemy is. that attack caused about $200 million worth of damages. these insider attacks destroy trust between u.s. and afghan forces, and it's their ability to work together that is the basis for the u.s. exit strategy from this country. matt? >> richard angel in kabul this morning. richard, thank you very much. the washington bureau chief of al arabiya, the arab language satellite channel. good to see think morning. >> thank you. >> let me ask you about the protests that we've now been watching for the better part of a week in parts of the middle east, the horn of africa. what's behind these, in your

opinion? is this about this small-time internet movie, or is this something much deeper, a long simmering distrust of the united states? >> it's all the above. it's much long-simmering resentment of the united states. it has some legitimate reasons, but it's essentially a pretext, and it is not really about religion. it's about politics and world power. it's about what's taking place in these countries that are going through a tremendous complex, painful transition. take egypt, for instance, extremists and islamists with different interpretations of islam competing with the mainstream islamist group in egypt which is the muslim brotherhood. >> right. >> they whipped up frenzy against the movie initially, and then the president, who is very cynical, was looking to protect his flanks so he called for more demonstrations instead of containing the demonstrations or condemning them so what you have is a competition in egypt as to who is going to shape the future of egypt, and using this movie

as a pretext. >> which raised the question. is this about the united states really at all, or is this about uncertainty in these people's own futures and their religious leaders and their political leaders simply finding a convenient target in the united states? >> it is about the united states only in a partial way. there are, as i said, legitimate grievances against u.s. policy, traditional support for the autocratic regimes, failure to solve the palestine problem, the way the war on terror was framed and conducted and the civilian casualties, all that's true. the problem is you have now more -- it has to do with what's taking place in those societies, especially in the arab world, in those societies going through this transition. >> right. >> you have competing forces using a pretext like the movie. you are going to see this taking place all over the arab world and the muslim world because these societies feel

marginalized, feel aggrieved, and they are ruled by oppressive regimes, and the regimes are very good at directing the wrath of their own people, not against the injustices in those societies, but against the american boogieman. >> when you look back at the speech that president obama gave in 2009 in cairo when he talked about his desire to recalibrate the relationship between the united states and the muslim world or the arab world, where does that re-calibration stand as we now watch the images coming from many of these cities? >> it must be extremely ironic for the president who went to cairo to call for a new beginning with the muslim world to see that his policies are in tatters right now, and not necessarily because of his actions, although he's blamed now because he failed to solve the arab-israeli conflict and all that. that tells you that this is not essentially about the united states policy or about president barack obama. it's about what's taking place in those societies, and i think

the president and the secretary of state will make a mistake if they make it a religious issue. we are not engaged in theological disputations with these people. this is role politics, and when the president talks about islam or judaism or christianity, we are playing their game. this should not be the game. the game should be that your societies have serious problems, economic, social, cultural, and have you to deal with those problems, and we are willing to help, but this is not about the united states. >> right. >> it's about role politics in the arab world and the muslim world. >> thank you so much for your time this morning. it's always good to see you. >> thank you. >> it's 7:09. here's savannah. >> matt, thanks. how are the attacks and protests abroad impacting the presidential race. chuck todd's is nbc's political director and chief white house correspondent. chuck, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. >> of course, these events don't take place in a vacuum, take place in the middle of a presidential campaign, and all along the president's advisers have said they are worried about an outside event, something beyond their control that could impact the campaign. does -- do these protests in the

middle east have the potential to have that kind of impact to the extent that they expose weakness in the president's policies? >> reporter: look, they do. i'm reminded by all politics is local, even overseas, and when you hear some of his descriptions of what's going on, but, yes, this qualifies as one of those events. it plays into this narrative of, okay, are things better, you know. the president made promises about an outreach to the muslim world. are things better? matt brought up the speech in cairo. i remember being at that speech. you and i were both traveling with the president at that time, and to think that this is what we're seeing almost four years later where america is being protested as if it didn't matter who was president again, so i think when it calls into question some of those promises, yes, this is the type of unexpected event that could end up looking back, could be one of those things that derails the re-election. >> meantime, mitt romney is obviously trying to seize the moment, but i guess the question is he smart to go with foreign policy to the extent that that

distracts him from the economy which is his calling card for the election? >> reporter: savannah, there's an internal dispute in the campaign about which direction to go, because on the one hand you could make the argument this plays into status quo versus change. are you better off? are you better off in the relationship in the middle east? are things better off here at home? on the other hand, at the same time is the economic message working? you know, that's what he had been focused on for seven months, and it hadn't made progress. it sort of hit a ceiling, so i think that's sort of the dispute internally in the campaign. on the one hand the romney folks don't want to look like they are off message. foreign policy crisis, as fast as they arise, they sometimes dissipate as quickly and the public may turn around and say, hey, wait a minute, what about the economy? >> real quickly, i want to ask you about an article in "politico" which details squabbling among romney advisers, a lot of blind quotes, anonymous quotes. is there an ominous sign for the campaign that they are blaming each other anonymously in print?

>> reporter: this certainly doesn't happen in winning campaigns, right, savannah, the type of thing you read about losing campaigns. it reads like a prebituary, if you will, people will see who is going to get the blame for the republican party's best chance of knocking off an incumbent president in 30 years. this sounds like over-panic, if you will. 50 days, still a ways to go. the first debates are still coming up, and i've got to tell you both campaigns are so concerned about the first debates, they both have taken a lot more time out of their schedules due to debate prep than maybe people realize. >> chuck todd in our washington newsroom, thank you. 7:12. once again here's matt. thank you. to an alleged terror plot thwarted right here in the united states. an 18-year-old is due in federal court today for allegedly planning to detonate a car bomb outside a chicago nightclub. nbc's katie tur has details on that. katie, good morning. >> reporter: and the 18-year-old, matt, is here -- from here in this chicago suburb. he is a u.s. citizen, and as you

said is due back in federal court later today. he's facing charges that he planned and then tried to carry out an act of terrorism just last friday. the fbi says adel daoud was intent on killing as many americans as possible. according to the criminal complaint, the 18-year-old from hillside illinois drove a green jeep cherokee full of what he thought was explosives to a downtown chicago nightclub and then attempted to detonate it. the teenager first came to the fbi's attention in 2011 when he sent e-mails sympathizing with bin laden, writing in one that osama wasn't crazy for wanting to destroy america. eventually court papers say daoud met with an undercover agent posing as an extremist. he picked the unnamed nightclub from google maps and allegedly told the agent he wanted the attack to be massive enough to make it in the news, like

tonight. authorities say daoud was bent on terrorism, vowing repeatedly that it was in his heart. >> we're going to see more and more examples of this type of self-radicalization. this is the new wave in the terrorist threat, but it doesn't mean it's a threat that we can't deal with. >> a kid that i know, adel is an angel. he helped me -- my husband was away, and he helped me start the lawn mower. >> reporter: surprise from neighbors and a denial from daoud eats family. in an interview with the "new york times" the teen's brother claimed daoud was always peaceful. that one time he got punched at school, and he didn't do anything. he's a very passive person. the complaint outlines a number of online discussions in which daoud used popular internet shorthand like lol or laughing out loud, a sign of just how assimilated into american culture the teenager is. federal authorities stress that at no time was there any danger

that daoud would detonate a bomb. matt. >> katy tur in chicago, thanks very much. >> now for the rest of the day's news with tamron hall over at the news desk. mayor rahm emanuel has raised the stakes as the teachers strike has entered its second week, seeking a court order forcing teachers back into the classrooms. on sunday the teachers said they were not comfortable with a tentative contract offer and wanted more time to go over it. fire fighters have contained the largest of the mountain wildfires that broke out during a weekend heat wave in southern california. four fire fighters were injured. meantime, several large fires are still raging in washington state, and canada is sending fire crews in to help out. in iraq this morning, a suicide car bomber killed at least seven iraqis and wounded more than ten others, including a member of parliament. that attack took place near the for the guide green zone where the u.s. and other western

embassies are located. china pledged this morning to protect japanese citizens and property after china's worth outbreak of anti-japan violence in decades. a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands is behind the friction that involved asia's two largest economies. major japanese firms have temporarily closed their factories in china and urge japanese workers to stay indoors. gasoline prices have jumped another five cents a gallon in the past week. aaa says the nationwide average now, $3.87 a gallon for regular. reasons for this latest increase are tensions in the middle east and u.s. refinery shutdowns due to hurricane isaac. wall street will try to build on last week's rally. more now from the new york stock exchange. >> reporter: good morning, tamron. that's right, occupy wall street protesters may try to blockade the new york stock exchange today, but investors aren't staying away. the stock market is close to levels it hasn't seen in nearly

five years. that's after the federal reserve acted to boost the economy last week. now all eyes are turning to europe where leaders will meet this week to try and resolve the crisis there. tamron. >> all right. kayla, thank you so much. here's a question. what happens when a zoo keeps lions and tigers in the same enclosure, and they happen to be a boy and a girl. you get a liger. you probably heard of ligers, a cross between a lion and tiger as mentioned. in russia one of the ligers made it with a lion to produce the world's only known laliger. the laliger cub has been named kiara after a character in "the lion king." it's 7:17, back to matt, savannah and al. what movie made the liger famous? >> a classic.

>> "napoleon dynamite." >> i've never heard of a liger. >> mr. roker. >> severe weather down to the south. an upper level low will be pushingts way into the southeast from new orleans all the way to charlotte, and as you look on the radar, can you see we've got stuff firing up already. a lot of rain through the southern gulf. as you go into the future, rain is firing up really making its way up into the southeast. later tomorrow, into the mid-atlantic states, risk of strong storms, maybe even a tornado. rainfall, anywhere from 4 to 5 inches of rain from new orleans all the way to lexington, kentucky and roanoke, virginia. that's what's going on around >> we will start the day with some sunshine. rain to the south and a friend to the northwest close in on rain chances.

that's your latest weather. savannah. >> al, thanks. now to the so-called "fatal vision" case, a former army doctor convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and two young daughters. jeffrey macdonald has maintained his innocence for 42 years, but now his supporters are hoping that a new hearing can clear his name. this report from wilmington, north carolina this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, savannah. the story of jeffrey macdonald and the murders of his wife and two daughters have been the subject of tv movies, documentaries and books. for 4 years he's maintained his innocence and now the ivy-league educate kated doctor is hoping a new hearing will clear his name or help determine if he's a cold-blooded killer. throughout the 1970s, america was gripped by the case of jeffrey macdonald, handsome, a

doctor, a member of the elite green berets, accused of stabbing and bludgeoning to death his pregnant wife colette and their two young daughters, ages 2 and 5. it was horrifically similar to the manson murders. the word pig scrawled in blood in the family's apartment in ft. bragg, not carol. macdonald claimed hippies chanting acid is groovy broke into the home, killed his family and left him injured and enough. the army found there wasn't enough evidence to pursue the case, but in 1979 a federal jury found macdonald guilty. >> he argued that a gang of crazies broke into her apartment and did the killing, but jury found he did it. >> reporter: macdonald maintained his innocence, refusing to even seek parole. >> i'm not going to tell two or three bureaucrats that i am sorry for something i didn't do. i did not murder my family >> reporter: case led to a best-selling book, "fatal vision." then an nbc miniseries by the

same name. which depicted macdonald as killer. >> i'm innocent of the charges, and i've always been innocent. >> reporter: case went all the way to the supreme court which upheld macdonald's conviction, but today in yet another court a judge will begin to determine whether new dna evidence and a defense claim that federal prosecutor intimidated a witness to lie are enough to reopen the case. jim blackburn, who prosecuted macdonald, has since been found guilty of unrelated ethical violations and has been disbarred, but he says he still believes the verdict was correct. colette macdonald's brother bob stevenson says, quote, there is nothing new out there, but jeffrey macdonald hopes that's not the case as he continues to fight, as he has, for 42 years. >> they can't take away the rest of my life and brand me as a murderer. i'm not, and i'm not going to let it happen. >> reporter: macdonald is now

remarried. he she is expected to be at the hearing later this weak. >> will legal action by the riley couple keep others from doing the

just ahead, salman rushdie on years of hiding and the echos he sees now of what's happening in the middle east. we'll be talking to him. >> an amazing perspective to offer. but first your local news and weather. mornings are a special time for the two of you... and now you can make them even more special... with new fancy feast mornings. mornings are delicious protein rich entrées... with garden veggies and egg. each one perfectly designed... to start her day with a little love. new fancy feast mornings gourmet cat food.

with an italian magazine publishing more images of the duchess of cambridge sunbathing topless in france. michelle kusinski joins us live. >> reporter: while william and kate are trying to enjoy a trip to the south pacific, an italian magazine published more of the photos, more than 20 of them and lawyers will be in court today beginning a battle against these publications. colorful, exuberant trip it's been for william and kate in asia. continuing their say in the solomon islands embraced by the people. kate even wore a dress given to her as a gift and a nearly constant smile. details and moment the world would be focusing on if it weren't for the images snapped earlier this month in france when the couple believed they were in no one's company by their own. they were here on the terrace of

a royal relative's chateau. the photographer reportedly several hundred yards away with a long lens and a clear view. today lawyers for the couple will appear in a french court seeking criminal charges, arguing that privacy was breached, her image damaged by the circulation of these photos of kate sunbathing topless. so far accessible in france, ireland, italy and certain u.s. websites. no publisher in the uk has touched them and british companies with a joint venture with the irish newspaper that ran them is now considering cutting ties. >> we're frankly horfive-day their decision to do it. we're frankly furious with it. >> reporter: a sentiment echoed by many, including princess diana's best friend rosa monkton who witnessed press intrusion in her life until the night she died. >> my first reaction was disbelief followed by anger because it showed me that nothing has changed since 15 years ago when diana died. >> reporter: but the publications that ran the photos

have staunchly defended themselves. >> just a beautiful couple, an in-love couple. >> she's not our future queen, and she won't, you know, and they are very good pics. >> reporter: today an italian magazine plashd out with 42 pages, who apparent with 200 pickages and said a call from the queen herself would not stop them y.go to court over this? if will and kate are successful, fines could be levied, future publications could be stopped, current ones pulled. however, the publications have arguments, too, not in the privacy of their home, outdoors in the view of the road. whose image was harmed by these or perhaps was it just the opposite? once again, the question comes up why didn't their security see this coming? savannah? >> all right.

thank you. an attorney with field, fisher, waterhouse in france joins us this morning. sir, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. let's talk about this lawsuit. do you think the royal family will be successful in this effort in france to get money damages assessed? >> they should actually have no trouble demonstrating that there was a severe invasion of privacy while the royal couple was on vacation in the south of france, so, yes, i think the chances are very much on their side. >> in some sense, of course, the damage has been done. the pictures are out. they have been published. so what is the remedy? is it just about money? >> well, there are several remedies possible in france. one would be damages, money, but i don't think that's what's at stake here. what the royal couple is looking for is an injunction which will prevent the magazine in question from publishing these photos on

its internet website or from the magazine selling them to other magazines outside of france, and, again, the royal couple should be able to win on these requests. >> as you mentioned, it's the injunction that's really the heart of this legal action, but in terms of the fines, do these publications look at it rather cynically and think, hey, it's worth it to pay that money and publish these photos that give us such notoriety. >> very much so. it's a very cynical and business-oriented calculation. money damages in france tend to be a fraction of what they would be in the united states, so any magazine, which is doing a cost-benefit analysis, is going to tell itself we're better off publishing these photographs, selling a maximum number of issues, and then going to court and paying whatever damages we're going to have to pay. >> what about criminal action against the photographer who shot the foeto, i suppose, for invasion of privacy?

>> yeah. if they could identify who the paparazzi is, they could go after him on criminal grounds, in other words, invasion of privacy, reaching into the private abody of the royal couple when they were on vacation, but we'll have to first figure out who the photographer was, and that's not necessarily going to be such an easy thing to do. >> this italian publication that has published these photos this morning, how feasible is for the royal family to go publication, by publication, trying to get these photos from being published? >> in europe there are at least 27 member states of the european union and if you have one magazine that wants to publish these photos they will have to go through 27 legal systems to get an injunction in each one. a french court would not be able to prohibit the publication in

mag seines outside of france. >> it's a complicated legal mess. thank you for your perspective this morning. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> it is 7:37. now let's get a check of the weather from al. >> all right. thanks so much. savannah, and we've got elizabeth and is this your birthday. >> yes. >> what's your name? >> alexis. >> it's your birthday. >> yes. >> how old are you? >> 10. >> double digits. >> above-normal temperatures in the northeast, above-normal temperatures out west where it stays dry and could use the rain. rain along the southeastern atlantic coast. latter part of the week, we warm up here in the east. some showers around the great lakes. above normal temperatures making their >> good morning. clear skies this morning.

>> deeply personal story for you, and you haven't told it until now. why? >> partly because it was so personal, and i wanted to feel emotionally in a better place to tell it, but i always knew that i would tell it. and actually it's that personal story that i think needs to be told, you know. how did a writer and his family and his publishers face off against this extraordinary act of terrorism. >> and so many connections to what we're seeing now, but let's try to remind people of the heat that was surrounding you. theit t thei the atiyah khamenei marked you, you were told by death squads that they had, quote, unquote, frustrated credible plots. what kind of fear were you living in? >> it was a aim of incredible stress. a lot of people who knew me then and afterwards said ten years afterwar

afterwards, i was worried about my publishers, book sellers, translators, a lot to worry about. >> i remember my coverage at the time. i'm old enough to refreshes and i remember some story line that kept coming up that during this you were living this life, enjoying the money and enjoying the fame, living a combination of a life of like james bond and david beckham, the international man of mystery and being whisked away by limbo and things. what was the reality? >> well, that was for me one of the strangest things that people should attempt to so dramatically distort what was going on. yes, i think sometimes it did look glamourous, if you arrive in a bulletproof jag and police leave out of the door, people think who the hell does he think he is? and for my side of it it felt like jail >> you write a lot about your friend and say throughout this entire ordeal not one friend ever said to you i can't be your friend anymore because you're too much of a hot potato. >> yeah. >> these people risked a lot to

protect. >> you one of the things i really take away from that experience is the fact that i survived this because of the love of friends who did extraordinary things for me. >> so fast forward, 23 years, okay, and we're got a situation in the middle east right now, and you look at protests going on in some of these cities, and do you see a connection? >> yes, i mean, one of the reasons why in the book i used this metaphor of the hitchcock movie "the birds" is to real say what happened to me was like the first bird, and now we're in the middle of the storm. >> but what is -- i mean, if you remember, the itollia had never seen the movie. >> the reaction is a much more larger outrage.

we still live in a rage of outrage and people are defined by their outrage and feels that it justifies itself. >> but is it legitimate outrage in your opinion or is it manufactured outrage? think were you talking to one of our producers over the weekend. you said it's kind of the outrage machine? >> there's an autorage industry, people who look for things to provoke their audiences, and it is, it's to a large extent manufactured. the fact that you can unleash these violent mobs like this is obviously completely unacceptable. >> and consider the fact that when you wrote "the satanic verses" 23 years ago it was not the age of social media. >> no. >> where a message can spread like wildfire. >> absolutely. it's much easier to do that now. >> when you look at this creator of this film in question, this internet film in, some ways do you have sympathy for that person, or do you feel that that person has done something horribly wrong? >> well, i mean, i think he's done something malicious, and that's a very different thing

from writing a serious novel, you know. he's clearly set out to provoke, and he's obviously unleashed a much bigger reaction than he hoped for. i mean, one of the problems with defending free speech is you often have to defend people that you find to be outrageous and unpleasant and disgusting. >> when you saw that man taken in for questioning over the weekend slightly shrouded to mask his appearance, any level of sympathy there? >> not really. >> why not? >> well, because he did it on purpose. i mean, he set out to create a response, and he got it in spades. >> salman rushdie, interesting, interesting perspective and i can't wait to read more of this book. it's called "joseph anton." >> thank you. >> pleasure to have you here. >> and we're back right after this. ♪

listen, these women are not doing it by themselves and have pros who help them look great and bounce back and said why don't we share that with the rest of the moms in america. >> you're unlocking the celebrity mom. >> absolutely. >> what is the common things moms do with their hair that is a mistake? >> more than a mistake, what happens after a woman has a baby is her hair tends to thin and she has issues with that, so i think as a hairdresser, what my role is to really help them feel really great about themselves, give them those best-kept secrets that are in hollywood that are ready for real women at home to make sure they can have the best hair ever. >> a couple of real moms to show. first we want to hear from jennifer and what she wanted to do with her hair. >> my name is jennifer and i'm a mom to 7-month-old sydney. being a mom is a 24/7 job and it's hard to find time for myself. i want to be a sexy mom and look like carrie underwood.

>> i think jennifer is pretty cute. what do you think she needs to do that? >> needs a little bit of brightness. need to change your hair at least twice a year so if you're blond, change your blond for the fall and winter, a little darker. if you're in the summer and you're blond, make sure it's a little bit lighter so you can see it. >> the before picture of jennifer one more time, and then we'll bring jennifer out so we can compare and see her complete makeover. jennifer, come on out. tell us what you did to change up her look. >> we actually made a lot of brightness in her hair and brought the length up. i think what happens, traditionally what women have happen, have a tendency to get stuck in a rut so by getting the length up and giving her a soft bang and making her very, very bright so she looked like carrie underwood. >> how do you feel? >> like my pre-pregnancy self which is great. >> you look gorgeous. great raw material to work with. look fantastic. >> thank you. >> our next mom and what she had to say.

>> since i had my son seven months ago i feel like i've shifted my focus from myself to him and i would like to reclaim my style and great to start with my hair. i'd like to get volume like penelope cruz. >> what was the prescription for swahti? >> women have a tendency to be afraid of hair color so when she spoke to her about changing her hair color she was a little nervous about it, changing the tone and bringing more warmth to her hair color would transform the color of her skin, as you'll see in a second. we brought the length up but she's had issues a little bit with thinness so one of the best kept secrets is hair extensions. >> let's bring her out and reveal her new do to the world. >> that's great. >> those are hair extensions. looks very natural. >> i brought her hair up above the shoulder, but what i wanted to do, she looks so magnificent,

and the whole idea of changing the color of her skin and actually with her hair color, it brightened it up and made her really very sexy because that's what she wanted to be is a sexy mom. who doesn't want to be a section mom? >> do you feel like a sexy mom because you look like one? >> i do, i feel a little bit sexy. >> thanks to ted. >> let's bring both of them out so we can have another week. what's your message, they don't all get to have ted gibson? >> listen, it's okay to spend some time on yourself. we martyr ourselves for our kids all the time, do a lot for our kids. i have a 5-month-old, they have young babies, too. okay to feel good about yourself and have fun once in a while. >> great to see the results here. thanks for being our models. you look great. >> thank you. >> ted and janice, thank you. >> and the book is "how to look hot in a minivan," and we'll be back with the story of a man who proves little changes can make

big changes

we are back at 8:44 with "your life calling today." jane pauley has sponsored the stories for us. a man who has had swinging success and we should clear that up. not that swinging, right? >> this is a dream most men would dream of, a golf scholarship at college, pro at 25, scottish open winner at 30, but when michael allen finally heard his life calling, he was better known as michael who? so who is this? at 53, michael allen is suddenly who's who.

success has been a long time coming. there are worse ways to earn a living than playing golf, but year after year on the pga tour he was barely earning a living. >> my career was never very good, you know, on the pga tour. i mean, one year i think i made $16,000. >> tell the folks about cue school. >> i'm the king. >> q school is where many try to qualify for the pga tournament. >> it's the most difficult, grueling tournament many men will play in their life. it gives you access to your dream and takes it away. >> michael allen has been through q school eight times which says a heck of a lot about michael allen. >> it says that i'm very desperate. >> it says a lot about resilience and perseverance, too. >> i've always believed in myself. that's probably my greatest talent because i'm not blessed

with any phenomenal skill. >> but with a young family to support and after 334 pga starts without a win he called it quits. >> i mean, we couldn't even buy health insurance. i tried to get into medical sales, and i started building homes. i was actually going to lose money at that, too. >> one season he worked at a golf club teaching when he wasn't hosing down range mats. >> a humiliating experience, but nothing that wasn't beneath me. i could do it. >> how did you get back here? >> these friends came along and said we believe in you, and we're going to help you get started again and we know you can do it. >> they offered to stake his comeback try for a year. >> what did your wife say? >> well, she said, michael, if you're going to do this again, must do something different. can't go about it the same old way. >> so he focused on fitness. >> and everything i do, every morning when i get up, in the evening when i stretch, it has to do with my fitness to be a better golfer.

>> he saw a sport psychologist, still carries his book in a bag. >> helped me with goals, like one would be to get what you want, you need to let go of the need to have it. >> what else did he tell you? >> better to be decisive than right. >> and he got a new swing coach. >> excellent. take the club back from there. >> he changed my game. >> three years ago allen took his new game to the senior pga championship, the most prestigious prize in senior golf. >> get up on 18 and hit a most tremendous tee shot i can right down the middle, and now i'm walking through the green. the camera right there, one of the first times in my life, and i said it's about friggin' time. 20 years later i went from michael who to actually winning the senior pga. >> what a champion tour debut for michael allen, the senior

pga champion. >> it wasn't a fluke. last april he won tournaments back to back. he's been a leader and a leading money winner all season long.'s >> good times and bad years. >> this is michael allen's winning season, playing the best golf of his life in his 50s. >> you are truly an inspiration. >> that's what i do. thank you. >> and michael remains the leading money winner on the champion's tour. the reality check, most people don't have angels like he did, and he couldn't have done it without the financial help from his friends, which he's repaid, but michael's success on secures the main takeaway here. it goes back to what his wife cynthia told him. just change something. who wouldn't be happier or

better if you just changed something. i hope you'll join me at 10:00 a.m. eastern time today for my live internet radio call-in show at aarp.org/jane. >> if you were to ask him, jane, do you think he'll say the fitness side or the mental side of what he changed, which is most important? >> the mental part, because the conviction when he talked about, you know, to let go of the need to have that thing you feel you need the most and the idea that, you know, it is better to be decisive than right, which, by the way, i have carved somewhere, jane, better be decisive than right. it works in life. >> and does his story give a young lady who likes to swing a golf club or two the dream of getting out there on the tour one day? >> on the tour? he gave me a club, a driver, with a big nbc peacock and aarp on it. it's not magic. >> you keep swinging though. >> i do.

[applause] michael: but there was a lot of press because of the press core upstairs watching and -- kelly: by the way, who even knew? michael: i did not know that. kelly: i was like how did the media get their hands on this? we have a spy. they were like the press core was upstairs. they had an upstairs? michael: the crazy thing about is is we asked them very tough question, political questions. we got to know them a little bit better and then the last segment, we did a lightning round where we just fired off these funny questions. and all of the stuff we went through over 20-plus minutes, they picked out do you like snooki or honey boo-boo? [laughter] kelly: that is the pivotal moment in this interview. 12k0eu7 and what does mitt -- and what does mitt wear to bed? i was so serious with that interview, man. kelly: you were, but i did enjoy watching the clip of you saying

"what do you wear to bed?" michael: i didn't write the questions. mitt, you can wear whatever you want. kelly: we were the "new york times" on saturday in the election section of the newspaper and this is the quote that i love the most. an appearance on "live" is a dance through pop culture to which i thought to myself why didn't we ask them to dance? michael: yes. kelly: that would have been incredible. michael: what kind of dance -- i'll give you my mitt romney interpretive dance. kelly: ok. michael: he keeps it safe. [laughter] [applause] and the throws the presidential smile once in a smile -- in a while. and ann, i could see the hair. kelly: yeah. [laughter] yeah. michael: yeah. kelly: yeah.

michael: i could see it. we should have asked them to dance. kelly: i know. as soon as i read that, i was like dance. that's the one thing we forgot to ask them about. and they were great sports. they answered every question. but it's so funny when you talk politics for so long and the quote that gets the most coverage is snooki. michael: and he said he was a fan of snooki. kelly: yeah. i was shocked to hear that. michael: i was a little shocked he knew who she was. but we also -- this is amazing. kelly: yes. michael: she's 75 years old. ernestine shepard and she wakes up at 3:00 every day to meditate and then clocks up runs totaling 10 miles before lunch. in 2010 and 2011, she was recognized as the guinness world records as the oldest competitive female bodybuilder. this lady is 75 years old. [applause] kelly: isn't that incredible?

michael: absolutely amazing. kelly: i mean that is incredible. if you said 45, you would get the same amount of applause because you would be like oh, my gosh, she looks incredible for 45. michael: and i think about the future. at 75 years old, 3:00 a.m.? you know what i'm going to be doing? kelly: sleeping. michael: i can't wake up at 3:00 a.m. and i'm nowhere near 75. kelly: at 75, you'll be waking up at 3:00 a.m. to go to the bathroom. [laughter] [applause] ask your dad. ask your dad. michael: you may be right about that one. kelly: i'm just saying i've heard rumors. michael: i'm going to ask you a question that you don't get asked very often. did you watch any football yesterday? kelly: i did. i watched the giants and the tampa bay buccaneers because

mark loves the bucs. michael: why does mark have to make our relationship so difficult? kelly: no. [laughter] he -- you know, he was from tampa bay. michael: but he's from new york now. kelly: i know he's from new york now but he identifies himself with that team. tpwhate always break his heart in the end. michael: yeah. but it was a great game. kelly: yes. michael: back and forth. at the end of the game, there was a little controversy because -- you know at the end of the game when you know you're going to lose you like to think that we're not going to but when there are a few seconds left, a team would hike the ball and the quarterback would take the knee. and you shake everybody's commands walk off. well, the coach for the buccaneers told his guys to plow through the line. so they plowed through, knocked eli manning on his tushy and it upset -- kelly: is that a football term? michael: tushy. we say another way but not meant for kids. kelly: do you say make sure you

knock him on his tushy. michael: i think that's just how we said it. but they knocked -- and it upset tom coughlin, giants coach who went to greg schiano, you don't do that in this league. that's not how you do it. and it was like watching old school and new school. you're a first-year coach out of college. kelly: i'm going to tell you how you do it here. michael: what tough to be careful of is they retaliate. kelly: exactly. michael: and not just that team of retaliate, other teams would retaliate. the game was great but i liked watching old coaches fight. [laughter] kelly: there is another interesting story on the cover of the newspaper today about an incident that happened in yankee stadium. does anybody know about this, about the couple? a couple was videotaped and photographed having an intimate encounter in the men's room. this is them there. so as if public toilets weren't

terrifying enough for me, now i have that to worry about. [laughter] so thank you, i may never leave the house again. [laughter] michael: that's why they should stop serving beer before you get to the game. just don't serve beer at all. kelly: these are my -- this is why we go to a baseball game and the most terrifying words to me at a public sporting event is when my daughter says "mom, i have to go to the bathroom." i'm like go in your pants. [laughter] i just can't do it. i can't take it. now that i know that this is going on. michael: that's pretty bad. kelly: and we can all agree what a gentleman he is. he took her to a private stall instead of the trough. michael: how did they get the pictures? kelly: i think they left the door open for room. [laughter]

it's all in my mind's eye. michael: you know, i think we should finish with something better than that because i can't let that be the end of our -- ok. this is great. a sensational puppy -- it's called a scent accusationle puppy handpicked by breeders. they're trained to detect cancer in people. kelly: oh. michael: but these dogs, they can sniff out bombs and drugs, use in rescue and detect cancer and diabetes better than prescreening tests that you do. kelly: but what is the sign? michael: the sign is if you're at home you get a new puppy and he's sniffing all over you, you better go get checked. [laughter] kelly: do you remember that story that we did here a long time ago? there was a cat, you guys know the story, some of you. there was a cat that lived in an

elderly -- in an old folks' home, like a retirement community and they said the cat had powers and whenever the cat went into somebody's room and sat at the foot of their bed, they passed away. yeah. so i would say like can you manningham being like an older person and you're in the bed and here comes the cat of darkness? the cat's like and you're like no, and the cat's like oh, yes. [laughter] it's time. i'm not ready. michael: i would have locked everybody out of the room every second. kelly: the cat comes in and the cat knows. the cat has like a weird sense of when the passing is about to happen. and so the cat knows. and now we've got puppies that can -- i don't know that i want that puppy. i mean, i definitely -- i want to get screened and i want to be proactive but it would make me nervous if my puppy was like wah, wah.

[laughter] michael: if i were in that old folks' home, i would ever transfer or lock my door. kelly: exactly. "american idol," which is coming back is set for a big -- they're saying a big diva showdown between moo rye ya carrie and nicki minaj. they're both on the show now. i kind of like that matchup. i think that they're both so knowledgeable about the music industry and both have so much relevance. michael: and totally different style. like mariah is -- and nicki minaj is like -- [laughter] [applause] so totally different style. i think it would be great. i can't wait to see it. kelly: my daughter and i think like most little girls for whatever reason have really connected to nicki minaj and they love to impersonate her and my daughter will rap like nicki minaj and it blows my mind. because she can make her eyes really big and she does like ♪

oh, no, -- ♪ i don't know any of what she said and she's like raps like her and i'm like where did you come from? incredible. we have a huge show today. michael: yes, we do. kelly: lucy lui is here.

though. one game and another color another game. michael: because if they're at home, they're like a darker color. when they're away, it's a lighter color of jersey. >> i'm confused. kelly: is that true? michael: this is what you call an educational program. >> there's fashion in sports. it's too confusing. when you stay one uniform it's consistent for me. kelly: no wonder i keep thinking these men are switching teams. they just switch uniforms. i understand you meditate. this is something that i'm desperate to get into, meditation but i find that my head is too noisy. >> it's like all this noise pollution. i actually was -- i did this art book that we talked about a while ago and chopra wrote one of the introductions for it and he said if you want to ever learn to med tailgate, i'll teach you. so who's going to say no to chopra teaching you to meditate personally? kelly: how did you meet depack chopra?

>> i met him through a friend of mine at an event and i -- when i did this book, i thought he would be this person with spart and spirituality. and i thought it was a long shot and he was completely opened to it and wrote this beautiful introduction to it about how art and meditation or spirituality is connected and when i went up to his office in new york when he was here, he taught me how to meditate. kelly: how did he do that? >> it's a mystery. ok. first, he had sit down in a chair and put my feet on the floor and then your hands are in a comfortable position on your lap. kelly: ok. >> but before you go in, he has to give you a mantra which is -- it dean on like where you're born. kelly: we need a mantra. [laughter] >> like what date and all that. and then everyone has a special mantra and the mantra is basically something that helps you get rid of the noise pollution but the one thing he did say is never to judge your

meditation. i mean, you could still do the meditation even if you quiet your mind and sometimes you'll have moments of -- and you can have moments of like -- i mean, it sounds crazy, but divine inspiration. michael: we have to take a quick break but lucy is going to show us another way to relieve stress. kelly: oh. we'll be right back. [applause] announcer: still ahead on "live," a performance by nelly furtado. and also, penny marshall.

[applause] kelly: i know. whoops. i'm just noticing those boots. did you see that? >> they are doing a fashion finder on the show, talking about shoes. we're back with lucy lui and you also relieve stress through painting. >> yeah, doing any kind of creative things, i bring stuff on the set. i have like my studio in my apartment in the front area. so i just throw paint on the wall, literally. like i put a canvas up. it's such a great thing to do and it's creative. kelly: and you love it. >> yeah. michael: what do you do with them after you're done? >> sometimes i'll sell them and sometimes i'll give them away and sometimes we'll do auctions. michael: how nice. kelly: do famous people buy your artwork? >> sometimes, yeah. kelly: who is the most famous person that buys your artwork? >> i don't know. is it ok to say? michael: of course.

nobody's watching. >> right. i have to say that in the beginning, i was doing photography and george clooney bought a few of my pieces. [applause] he's incredibly supportive. he's all about, wow, that's amazing that you're doing that and i was just a guest star on "e.r." at the time. isn't that sweet? >> let's talk about "elementary." you are the first female watson which is great. >> it's kind of exciting because it's something that has been around for such a long time and obviously, it's kind of -- it's hard for people to switch stat gear because it's historic and they have huge fans of sherlock holmes and watson and i think it's exciting to turn it on its head a little bit and make it something it's introducing in a modern way to people. so i hope that people can receive it that way. michael: you're his live-in sober companion. >> that's right. most people don't know a sober companion is.

a sober companion is somebody who tries to help you stay on the path and his father, has hired me to do that. so there's a little bit of tension but i think that it's kind of -- it'll be an interesting part of the relationship for the show. kelly: let's look at the scene, sherlock is showing watson his power of deduction. >> how do you do it? >> do what? >> guess things. >> i don't guess. i observe. and once i've observed, i deduce. >> they say you could tell from my hands that youo know i was a surjon. >> hand, singular. no calluses. and i smell beeswax. many surgeons, as you know, use a beeswax to protect their hands from the dehydrating effects. old habits diehard. as far as why you gave up your medical career to become a

companion -- his or her death moved you to make drastic changes in your life. am i close? >> what about my father? >> what about him? >> how did you know he had an affair? >> google. [laughter] not everything is deducible. [applause] kelly: google. michael: well, "elementary" premieres thursday, september 27 at 10:00 p.m. on cbs.

>> i've got my bling. the giant bling. kelly: how do you get all these sports rings? >> because -- mitchy, the lakers. the clippers, i go too but they haven't won anything yet. michael: they will eventually. they're putting together a team. >> and if chauncey wasn't hurt last year. michael: penny's a big sports fan. kelly: i know. michael: but you were born and raised the bronx. kelly: boogie down bronx. [applause] >> yes. michael: what i love is -- kelly: all good things come from the bronx. michael: but you were raised from your mom's dance school. >> she taught from the cellar of our building. kelly: that was a ballet academy? >> tap, ballet, acrobatics, whatever. sh-and-she taught dancing

school. kelly: there you are -- is that ballet recital costume? >> well, no, there's tap shoes on. [laughter] kelly: oh. i can't see the feet. michael: that's you in the front, right? >> yeah, i've got no ankles. kelly: no, you have nice ankles. >> 100 years of dancing no, ankles. michael: did you always want to act? >> no. [laughter] i didn't even want to dance. kelly: so you had no choice? >> i had no choice. my mother would shoot me. kelly: you had over 350 students, right? >> yeah. she would compare me to all of them. they all loved her. i didn't like her so much. [laughter] but she was funny. michael: but were you a good student? >> what in school zip dancing. >> no, i was school. i could tap. can you tap? michael: i could tap. >> let me see. [applause]

[laughter] you're just making that up. kelly: that was like -- michael: those were what you call i need a foot massage later dance. kelly: that was the lord of the dance. so how did you get into acting? what happened? what was your path along the way? >> well, when you are dancing, i unzip people's leotards -- [laughter] i went to college in albuquerque, newman. go, logos, beat the aggies. and i got married and i had a baby. i was a temp. i didn't like getting up early. i don't know how you people do it, by the way.

kelly: we get used to it. >> so i decided to teach dancing school there. you don't have to start until 11:00. so they came from the albuquerque opera which was on south pacific, high spirit. those kinds of moods cals. -- musicals. were the people that stayed up at night and i'm on l.a. time. so this is really ridiculous hours. kelly: i'm sorry. we're sorry, penny. >> and my mother -- kelly: you want to sell the book or not? >> yeah, the book here. [laughter] [applause] >> i came. i'm here. i'm dressed. i wore my lakers shirt. i don't wear dresses. but i'm here and so i got -- those were the people that stayed up at night. so basically, i like night people. kelly: so that's how you got into theater? >> yeah, and then i got divorced. i moved to california to meet my brother, gary, who i didn't know as a kid because he was 10 years

older. michael: when we come back, we're going to find out how "a league of their own" inspired the "shibbed ler icc -- "schindler's chris." -- list. we'll be right back. announcer: enter "endless summer travel trivia" today. next "live," mitt romney and his wife, ann romney. kelly: you missed a spot. announcer: plus, kelsey grammer from "boss."

[laughter] kelly: there you go. >> i don't know. i have a great body chemistry. and i got sick -- kelly: during the commercial break, she said i got cancer because of michael. >> i was at the giant game when you pushed on the trophy and i went all around and sat in the owner's seats and it was too hot and the security guard knew premaine are the nets games and i went home and the next day, i was in the hospital. so it had some relationship with you. michael: something to do with me. kelly: clearly, it was your fault. michael: trust me, i've been blamed for other things. >> it just happened to be

coincidental. i went home and landed in the hospital. kelly: but you're fine now >> yeah. the media had me dying every three months. pray for her. i'm fine. thanks -- knock wood. [applause] michael: the movie, "a league of their own," at the end of the movie, you showed the real female baseball players and you got a call from steven spielberg who asked you could he do that, take the idea in shin-soo choo. >> he said how did you do that? and i said some were actors, actresses and lou genius voice said to the characters and the rest were real characters. but for those women who were either ashamed to say they played ball and now, they go to autograph shows and make a dollar so stephen said could i

use that entered have real survivors and put the stone on? i said absolutely. i don't own nothing. kelly: that's really great though. >> and stephen always encouraged me over the years to edit. i do jigsaw puzzle and he said that's editing. kelly: which do you prepare? >> i like directing. you are to get up early. people aren't that funny at 7:00 in the morning. michael: let me tell you right now, we love you and you're amazing. and thank you for coming.

there's birth control you don't have to think about taking

every day or even every year. i'm painting my arms. i want another child, but not for a while. it's mirena, a small intrauterine contraceptive that's over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy for as long as you want, for up to five years. then again, i'm not sure i want to wait. don't use mirena if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. if you have persistent pelvic or stomach pain, or if mirena comes out, tell your healthcare provider. if it comes out, use back-up birth control. mirena may attach to or go through the uterine wall and cause other problems. although uncommon, pregnancy while using mirena can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility. ovarian cysts may occur, but usually disappear. bleeding and spotting may increase in the first few months and continue to be irregular. periods over time may become shorter, lighter, or even stop. mirena does not protect against hiv or stds. oh, i can wait a little longer.

ask about mirena. when you have time. did you know ? if you choose mirena to prevent pregnancy, it's also approved to treat heavy periods.
